United Progressive Fraternity sign to
InsideOutMusic for debut album European tour starts
September

InsideOutMusic are very pleased to announce the
signing of United
Progressive Fraternity for the release of their debut album 'Fall In Love With The World'
this November. Formed from the ashes of respected Australian progressive
rockers Unitopia, the band sees Matt Williams, Dave Hopgood, Tim Irrgang
& Mark 'Truey' Trueack joined by Guy Manning (Manning, The The Tangent),
Daniel Mash (Maschine, The Tangent), & Marek Arnold. The forthcoming
album also features guest appearances from Jon Anderson of Yes, as well as
Steve Hackett of Genesis.

The band had this to say about the signing &
tour:

'We are absolutely thrilled to be signed to such a
prestigious label as InsideOut and look forward to a long & fruitful
partnership in the future. We are very proud of what we have achieved with
the making of this, the debut album from UPF. Everyone has worked
incredibly hard to bring it together, and while the road we travelled to get
here was a real challenge, the journey has been worth every step.
We have strived to create a richer, bolder, grittier sound trying to evolve a
little more, and we truly believe we have succeeded in this. But none of it
would have been possible without the commitment, passion and belief in the
vision of the Fraternity, of every member of the band and the newly formed
UPF family so now....we really are, all parts of the whole!!

We are very excited to be taking UPF to the road
with our Promotional UK/European tour in Autumn, kicking off at the 2014
Summers End X Festival where we have the prime Saturday night spot on 27th
September. We will be playing tracks from the new album and Unitopia fans
will not be disappointed as we will be playing selected favourites from the
Unitopia back catalogue. We are very much looking forward to all playing live
together for the very first time! We intend to give our audience a musical
journey they will not forget and hope that they too, will not just fall in
love with our music but fall in love with the world!'

The band will embark on their first live dates later
this year, starting with Summer's End Festival in the UK and continuing into Europe
in October. The full list of dates can be found below:

The Great Divide is ENCHANT's much anticipated 8th studio album and
their first new recordings in almost ten years, following their acclaimed
latest studio album Tug Of War in 2003 and the Live At Last
double-album / live DVD release in 2004.

A comprehensive EPK-styled interview with ENCHANT about the album can be seen
here:

Devin Townsend has
announced the launch of ZTV, a brand new video series starring the
inimitable Ziltoid, as well as a brand new interactive site dedicated to him.
Following on from the announcement of the Z² double-album, which is
due for release on the 27th October 2014 in Europe and 28th October 2014 in
the US, the newest glimpse into the Ziltoid story can be viewed here: www.ziltoid.comDevin had this to say: Hey guys! Devin here... been a few
weeks since the Z2 album was delivered, and we've been getting everything
ready for the upcoming tours and the release of the records. As I've
mentioned, Z2 is an experiment for me in trying different mediums to
illustrate a concept, and as such...I'm really excited to present to you the
new Ziltoid website, and the first of three ZTV episodes leading up to the
album release! The crowd-funding campaign has allowed me to actualize Ziltoid
and its music in ways I'd always hoped for, and the idea with the three web
episodes is to set up the concept of the album. This first one is less over
the top than it gets by episode three, but it needs to establish the whole
story before it gets more absurd. It is a great pleasure to be able to do
this, and was an awesome experience (other than having to explain to
management and family why I spent so much money on puppets =)
Thank you for the support and allowing me to continue =)
